Aberrant transcriptional signalling in the progression and metastasis of melanoma. [ 2013 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Glen Boyle (Principal investigator)

Brief description There are currently no treatments that have any impact on decreasing mortality from metastatic melanoma. We have found 2 new variants in melanoma that may control the tumour growing and invading around the body. This study will examine the protein containing these changes with the aims of finding how they function differently, to identify their roles in the formation of melanoma, as well as to identify new targets for prevention and treatment of metastatic disease.
